Coming Out of the Deep
Harvest season meant the gates were open to the public; anyone could come in, pay a small f*e, and pick to their heart’s content.
A few families with baskets were scattered among the rows, their laughter floating in the warm air, and I wanted to introduce Kairos to all the different fruits. There weren’t things like these in Silverglade, and I knew he would enjoy it.
Turning to him, my mate was already plucking a peach and biting into it, juice running down his fingers as his eyes lit up.
“This is the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted.”
I handed him my handkerchief, laughing. “You’re a mess. You must wash it first, silly.”
